Re: What SSD port interface has motherboard of my laptop

 , welcome back to the forum.

 

Here is the Maintenance and Service Guide for the laptop.  In Chapter 6, Removal and replacement procedures for authorized service provider parts, Page 44, is a list of compatible M.2 SSD's.  As you will see, there are SATA and PCIe models.  I like Samsung SSD's because they seem to work best with the HP BIOS.

My 922 GB C: drive claims to have just under 20 GB free.  When I look to see what is using all the space folder by folder I only find a third of it being used.  Any idea what I'm missing?

Dear Iomare,

Thank you so much for your reply. I was hoping that it could support for such an express card upto 500 GBs and use the 1 tb hard disk already installed on it for backing up data, but alas it  only supports mini card solid state drive upto 250 GB SSD which is what I do  not want. In the nut shell i need to replace the hard disk with the one you mentioned or some similar. I hope my software won't hang while running multiple software simultaneously such as ArcGIS & Visual Studio :)

 

But wait sir, I have scanned my system with crucial from crucial.com and it tells me that there are two interfaces such as SATA & M.2 and I can install Crucial MX500 1TB 3D NAND M.2 Tye 2280 Internal SSD in M.2 port. Please confirm that sir whether this is true. I

 

Thanks, Ghaffar 

Replace or Reset Temp Sensor?

$

I had some fan issues in the past (making contact with the case making a scraping noise) and had previously ordered a replacement fan from Amazon. I popped open the case and replaced the fan without any issues. Upon reboot I got an error code warning that my computer had shut down due to excessive heat (it hadn't) I got into windows and loaded up speed fan to see that one temp sensor was reading 75c while everything else was at a comfortable 32ish. I played with the cables by the fan a little and the temp sensor would flip between 75 and 35. I decided that the fan must be faulty so I uninstalled it and reinstalled the old fan. I was again warned about a shut down to excessive heat (still didn't happen). When I got to speed fan I again was met with normal temps across the board except for one reading 75 c. Playing with the cables no longer works, but when I graph the heat you can see it drop to 0 for milliseconds before going back to 75.
 
Before we go down the road of looking for cpu intensive programs, let me say I am 100% confident this is a faulty sensor, not an actual heat issue. I updated everything I could bios/hardware wise still with the same result. I have switched the fans, removed the fans, and tried every combination of new and old fans, same result. I eventually just disabled the Windows CPU cooling policy, and the computer works fine, just the fans are on full blast all of the time.   
 
Is there any way to disable this sensor? I didn't see any temp specific options in bios.
 
Where is the actual temp sensor on this laptop? Is it a component that can be replaced? 
 
Thanks

My left hinge broke right after the warranty expired. The housing is also cracked and computer will not turn on.  It cycles as it attempts to boot up.  Is there a way to replace the housing or has it now become a paper weight. 

faulty laptop repairs not in Australia but in Singapore

New laptop under HP 1 year warranty. Faulty. Repairs only available in Singapore. Asked to bubble wrap and get ready for courier. Is this normal? I am in Australia. I rang my seller and they told me it was a scam. Said to bring it back to the store where they will repair. Anyone else encounter this?

I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).

If you are unfamiliar with how the Community's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Community.

That is true in many cases. I've no idea why but most of parts from a computer (big or small) to an aircraft are in Singapore. I was a computer "repairer", I worked in Melbourne but most of the times we need parts from Sydney or Singapore.

 

I believe HP Australia Office in in Melbourne.

USB audio button power board

The power button has caved in, I believe this is a common issue. Does anyone know the name of the part and where I can purchase it? I've opened the laptop and just need the part. I initially thought the part was #913006-001 and I found this part online. However, it just doesn't look like the part in this laptop. If someone can confirm, I would really appreciate it.

I recommend you download and install the BIOS from the below link and check if it helps.

That worked, thank you.

 

I realize it would be a seperate post but... what do you know about the BIOS for an Envy 20 Touchsmart? It's another machine that once had a VERY bad BIOS update issue.

 

Feel up to a true challenge?
